About This File

The Lots

This set contain four churches in more or less Dutch style that replace the four Maxis Houses of Worship Rewards.
I selected four nice looking church models and placed them on new lots.

Properties are identical to Maxis Houses of Worship. I made a new Icon.
Lot sizes: 2x2 and 3x3.

 

I also provided landmark versions of the lots, so you can plop them as often as you like.

The dependencies

There are quite some dependencies:
First of all four for the models of the churches.

Furthermore a set of proppacks and texturepacks that I frequently use for my still growing set of Dutch Lots (upcoming large farms set, other rewards, windmills, etc)

The necessary files are:

Church 1 = Dutch Church2a-0x5ad0e817_0x5289c81c_0x30000.SC4model
Church 2 = SG_NordicChurch.dat
Church 3 = New York Dutch Church-0x5ad0e817_0xd60e0589_0xf0000.SC4model
Church 4 = simchurch-0x5ad0e817_0x8e811925_0x30000.SC4model

And the usual suspects:
BSC_TexturePack_Cycledogg_V 01b
BSC MEGA Props - CP Vol01.dat
BSC MEGA Props - SG Vol 01.dat
BSC MEGA Props - swi21 Vol01.dat
BSC MEGA Props - D66 Vol01.dat
BSC MEGA Props - MJB Vol01.dat
BSC MEGA Props - Gascooker Vol01.dat
bldgprop_vol1.dat

 

For Version 2 you also need

BNL Essentials

 

If you think this is a large list, let me tell you then that I use these, and some other packs, as standards for all of my Dutch uploads. So if you care for a large amount of Dutch style lot, there is not problem at all. Besides that most of these packs are very common and many of you will have them already in the plugins folder.

Have fun!


What's New 1.0   View Changelog


Released

  • I placed the building exemplars into the lot files, so no separate " Dutch_Churches building exemplars.dat" anymore.
  • The landmarks versions now have BNL Custom Queries. Therefore I added "BNL Essentials v1.1" as extra dependency.
  • I renamed all lot files, sot that you can discern them from the old ones.
  • I guess the lots are not compatible anymore. If you have the old versions in your cities I think it is safest to bulldoze them all, remove the files from your Plugins and then add the new ones.

Looks very nice, but isn't the first church Haarlemmergold's Dutch Church Spaarnwoude? https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/files/file/17456-dutch-church-spaarnwoude/

Sorry, but I need to ask: what are the names of the chucrches you are using as dependencies? Appart from HG's little chapel I don't know from the top of my head where I could find them. Or are they included in the prop packs you listed?
Anyway, great re-lot job.

Buildings are great. But I don't think that replacing the Maxis ones is a good idea. There will be problems when we are building a city from those non-Christian areas, such as the Arab countries, or East Asia and so on. Because the citizens will sure advise you to build them. What do you think if a mayor from Japan is advised to build a church rather than a stupa?
Five stars however, for the buildings.

@ All: thanks for the nice reactions.

@ ALJ: the necessary downloads of the models are in the Readme. You don;t have to search yourself.

@ Oliver Lock: If you have Japanese or Arab cities you just don't install my lots.... They are especially meant for Dutch or alike areas. And besides that: I don't know how to make extra rewards. I am already quite proud that I am able to replace the existing ones, so additionals are maybe for the future.

I must echo Oliver Lock's request, though my reason is I simply like a wide variety of churches. Even most small towns have more than one, and usually very different from each other, even if of the same faith. I really like these ones, but even while I like them more than the Maxis "houses of worship", I do like Maxis', too. I really don't like having to choose between the two. Any chance of simple landmark versions of these, if they can't be done as separate rewards? I really want 'em - but not if I have to sacrifice the Maxis ones.

Well, landmarksversions are feasible. I think I can do that for you.

It looks like the church of Purmerland. A hamlet 12 km north-north-west of Amsterdam.

How retrieve the House of Worship (Maxis) keeping these churches? I know it's possible because before it works but when I redownloaded this pack (boxes issues), they replace the House of Worship
